Reacting to change and transforming European Lifelong Learning

We invite you to submit your views on the topic of Reacting to change and transforming European Lifelong Learning: the contribution of ICT in addressing key concerns related to learning innovation, through the second VISIR consultation.
The European Union has set the objective to establish the strongest education system in the world by 2020, and ICT could be one of the levers to support the process of innovation of European learning systems. National governments in EU still struggle with a fragmented picture in terms of effective use of ICT for learning. Research in the field is progressing, good practices increase but a meaningful use of technology has not yet been achieved. There is a need for research to support policy makers at EU and national level in understanding how ICT can support educational innovation. A wide consensus is available that ICT has a potential to contribute to learning innovation, and the VISIR consortium feels the need to discuss how to do so.
In this survey, we would like to discuss how ICT can contribute to a set of key policy objectives, identified by the Stellar Network of Excellence in 2012.

• Cost reduction and effectiveness of learning
• Transferability of learning results across lifelong learning sectors and contexts
• Employability value of Education
• New assessment methods
• Scalability of innovation
• Learning attractiveness.

For these objectives, a set of options are provided on how ICT can contribute to achieve them.
You are kindly invited to give opinion on the options and to suggest further policy objectives how to do so.
